Some are center positive and some are center negative. Your best bet is to grab a multimeter and see which part of the input is shorted to which of the output pins.</p>Customer #679690 on PRT-10811 - DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Breadboard CompatibleCustomer #679690urn:uuid:f4d16cd8-c6c7-ccbc-0a37-e0afa04ebc9e2015-06-23T23:06:57-06:00<p>I don&rsquo;t understand which is ground and vin, I get that the 2nd side pin is also a ground , I&rsquo;m using dc barrel jack wall adapter that I ordered from here too.

I have the other barrel connector with the wider leads, but just received my boards from OSHPark and I see that they just have standard holes drilled without enough room for the fat leads on the other connector.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m hoping that the posts on this one might fit in to the standard holes on my PCBs, but I can&rsquo;t seem to figure out the dimensions for the pins on this from the drawing.

<p>I&rsquo;m got it plugged into the breadboard as shown in the picture, and I&rsquo;ve attempted to jump it out to the power rails&hellip; but it doesn&rsquo;t seem to be working for me (i.e., it&rsquo;s not powering my led strip)</p>stcarlso on PRT-10811 - DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Breadboard Compatiblestcarlsourn:uuid:53ce1364-c04a-70e5-e0d1-25cfd7c955862011-11-29T10:38:53-07:00<p>It looks like it could fit from the dimensional drawing, but some pin bending will be required. Once I get a few, I will test them in a real breadboard and find out for sure.</p>
<p>Update: I have them in. Power rails? Not exactly - you have to bend the pins slightly, and there could be issues if you want to use the third pin. It&rsquo;s far cleaner to put it in an empty section and jump it to the rails.</p>stcarlso on PRT-10811 - DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Breadboard Compatiblestcarlsourn:uuid:10b96a3e-2182-c036-f9ac-304b519efa7d2011-11-20T17:06:07-07:00<p>Can one use the same PCB footprint as the <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/products/119" rel="nofollow" >non-breadboard compatible jack</a>?</p>IllogicGate on PRT-10811 - DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Breadboard CompatibleIllogicGateurn:uuid:534041af-ec09-2093-6116-39ef2e418ba72011-08-10T08:04:19-06:00<p>Radioshack has ALL panel mount stuff; Breadboard friendly FTW!</p>nickmasso on PRT-10811 - DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Breadboard Compatiblenickmassourn:uuid:e873d411-8134-266c-e3e8-3d0ead6aa3ac2011-08-07T13:10:20-06:00<p>Could this be fit directly into the power rails?

Cutting/Drilling holes in perfboard is doable, but dragging out the dremmel for just one component is a pain.</p>Myself on PRT-10811 - DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Breadboard CompatibleMyselfurn:uuid:c6a9f99d-c6bc-ca8f-048b-87bc77ba5fa62011-08-05T09:40:02-06:00<p>The other classic technique is to drill a hole in the perfboard and use a panel-mount jack.
